Apple announced on November 20 that it will permanently shut down the popular Apple Support Community forums, effective immediately. As of the final post at 5:49 p.m. Pacific Time, new discussion posts are no longer being accepted on the site.

While the forums will remain accessible in a read-only format after the closure date, Apple has not specified if the community will remain functional beyond November 20 or be completely removed. Users are encouraged to continue seeking support on the official Apple Support website and other forums like MacRumors and Reddit. Apple thanked the community for their contributions and expressed regret for the forums' demise.
